Flying from Washington D.C. to Karachi: FAQs
What should I wear in Karachi?
Pakistan is a predominantly Muslim country, and it is generally a good idea to cover your arms, chest and legs – especially when visiting religious sites such as mosques, where you should also cover your head and remove shoes before heading inside (if open to the public).
Long tunic tops with loose fitting trousers for men, and ankle-length skirts for women, are in keeping with the local dress. Cotton shirts and linen trousers are also ideal for the hottest days.

Karachi enjoys a warm climate all-year round, with average high temperatures of around 25°C in the winter (December to February) and approximately 35°C in the spring, summer and autumn (March to November).
Rainfall is at its highest in July and August.
